Senate reform is rapidly enteriug the domain of practical polities, and when it comes to settling down to the discus. cion of possible plans of reform, the goal aimed at would seem almost to be with- in sight. Abolition of the upper House does not appear to be held desirable, but methods of rendering it more nseful and more representative are coming to the front. Senator David enunciated a plan whereby the Federal Government, Pro- vincial Executives and universities and other public bodies, respectively, might each appoint cue' third of the representa- tives iu the upper House. Sir Richard Cartwright, who was careful to say that he spoke only for himself as an individu- al, presented a scheme for a Senote, two- thirds of whom should be elected and one-third appointed, Sir Richard Cart- wright, would not interfere with the life me berahip of the present Senate, but would provide for forty-eight elec. tive Senators in four groups of twelve each -that is to say, twelve each from Ontario and Qaebee, twelve from the Maritime Provinces collectively and the same number from the Northwest Prov. Moos collectively. In order to prevent a deadlock the Government should have the power to,appoint twenty-four Sena- tors, or one-third of the total member- ship of seventy-two, which would be the numerioal strength of the Senate when the present incumbents had departed. The Ministerof Trade and Commerce die• likes exceedingly the idea of direct elec- tion. of Senators, which, in his opinion, would be an unfortunate plan to adopt As to the personnel of the Senate, it should represent both parties fairly and in due proportion, and there should be a large percentage of men of long ex- perience in public affairs. In the ap- pointment of Senators, Cabinet Minis- ters of several years' standing should come first, next Lieutenant -Governors and Premiers of Provinces, or Judges of the higher courts. If these sources fail- ed to yield the requisite number, then recourse should be had to the House of Commons, those eligible to be men of twelve or fifteen years' service. A sub- stantial legal element might also be incorporated. The Senatorial term should be Iimited to twelve years. Sir Richard would give more authority to the Senate, which, although at present theoretically a co-ordinate branch of the Legislature, has too little practical pow- er. The whole body of private legisla- tion should originate in the upper House and in addition to the right of rejection power to suspend consideration until the following session of important measures brought in at a late period of the session should be conferred. The power of sus- pension, however, should be limited to two years, and if the House had on three successive occasions passed a particular measure the Senate ought to concur and allow it to become law. Snell, in brief, were the propositions advanced by Sir Richard in a speech of unit nal vigor and incisiveness. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The annual meeting of the West Huron Liberal Association will be held zn the Agricultural Hall at Dungannon on Tuesday, May 29th, at 1.30 p. m. Each polling sub.division is entitled to send three delegates and three alternates. The succession duties in Ontario for the first four months of 190e, ending April 30, amount to $167,615, being some $7,000 less than for the same period of 1905.

Just a few menthe ago the home of Mr. James Beers, of Emerson, N. B., was failed with Borrow. It seemed that death would claim the life of their bright little daughter. To -day this gloom is changed to joy. The little one is no long. er i11, but is now bright, active ane happy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought tbis change after three doctors had failed, Ceucsrning this illness and cure ears. Beers says: -"At the age et six my little girl became very ill. At different times for the next year and a half three dote tors treated her without benefit. She was terribly run dawn and her blood was nothing but water. Then dropsy set in. She would swell so that her clothes were much too small for her. Her legs and feet were near' vwi.oe their natural size. To wake torture worse rheumatism set in. Her state was pitiable. Sometimes we thought she could not live mach ringer and for three months she cool. •ot walk a step. To touch her w . to t use her the great • est agony. The s o ors were bullied - they could do not • g for her and as a last resort we began the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. She took the pills several weeks when we saw a slight improve- ment. The improvement gradually be- came more marked and by the time she had taken twenty-one boxes her cure was complete. It is now nine months since she took the pills and she is now as well as she ever was and goes to school every day. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for I feel they saved my little girl's life." Watery blood is the pause of over half the sickness which prevails to -day, To have health, strength and happiness you must have rich, red blood. Dr, Wil- Hams Pink Pills mnko this rich, red blood that is why they Dare anaemia, indigestion, loss of appetite, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous troubles, heart palpitation and all the ailments peculiar to growing girls and women.

The immigrant arrivals in Canada for the ten months from July, 1905, to the end of April, 1900, inclusive, amounted to 117,587 as compared with 99,309 for the same period last year making a net increase of 18,278. The total immigra. tion through ocean ports shows an in- crease of 7,010 and from the United States, 11,280. The increase by ocean ports for the month of April was 3,112. A scientist claims to have discovered that heat applied to the hair will pre- vent it from turning gray, and will re- store gray hair to its original color. This discovery, he says, is the result of his observation that the hair of women who use heated curling tongs doesn't get gray. The value of the discovery there- fore depends upon the accuracy of this scientist's observation. Is it true that women who use curling tongs don't have gray hair. -Hamilton Herald. We hear a great deal about what pub- lic officials could earn if they were in business for themselves instead of serv- ing their country. In 99 cases out of 100 all such talk is tommyrot. A great many public servants would starve to death if they had to depend on their own exertions for a Livelihood. Public offi- cials are the best paid class in the oonn- try, and all this howling about the great sacrifices which they make is sickening and should be discontinued.--Orenge- vilie Sun. It will be of interest to the electors of this district to know how their repre- sentatives at Ottawa voted in the House of Commons on the motion to repeal the legislation of last session increasing the members' indemnity to $2,500. The following members voted against the motion for repeal (that is, they voted to retain the extra $1,000.) LEWIS (West Huron), GUNN (South Huron), McKENZIE (South Bruce). Dr. Chisholm, the member for East Huron, was absont,and he is not recorded in Hansard as having paired. Business Dishonesty. So widespread is this evil, so general is the decadence of fundamental morali- ty, that the moat glaring instance of business dishonesty, involving lying and theft and perjury, passes almost without comment and often with- out punishment. The notion is common and facts seem to warrant zt, that men who organize a corporation can be guilty of all forma of dishonesty, falsifying Government returns, making lying af- fidavits to public officials, feasting them- selves and their favorites on the fonds of their shareholders, gambling in stocks with trust naonoy for their Own advent. age, stopping at nothing that their in- genuity could devise or their cupidity desire; and yet there are signs of a mor- al paralysis in public opinion and in the courts of justice, and even the churchoa themselves, where there shotild be no confusion of moral distinctions, seem strangely apathetic. For vulgar drunk. enness or petty larceny a man would be blackballed by a lodge, or refused by a club, or disciplined by ft church, or sent to jail by a court. But the pretentious and brazen offender may juggle with figures, and rob his dependents and per- jure himself, and nothing is Beard 01 social ostracism, or of ecclesiastical dis- cipline, or of straight going judicial condemnation. -The Globe, CHURCH NOTES. Rev. H. M Lang -Ford preached in St. Paul's Oburoh on Sunday. There will be divine service in let. laud school house next Sunday after- noon. Rev. Geo. Buggin, a fernier pastor of Btyth Methodist church, will superan- nuate iu June, and take up his residence in Seaforth, where he has purchased property. The annual meeting of the Winghant District of the Methodist Church was held at Brussels yesterday. Dr Gundy and Mr John Kerr were in attendance from Wingham. The results of the divinity exauiiva- tion for the spring term at Heron Col. lege, Loudon were annonced yesterday, and we notice that Mr. Powell, of Turn - berry has been very successful in the different subjeots. It is rumored that a chain of compli- cations may prevent some contemplated ministerial changes at the next confer- ence. Rev. Dr. Gundy may remain at Wingham, Rev, Howson at Mitchell and Rev. Mailot at Chatham for another year. The Bishop of Huron, Right Rev. Dr. Williams, visited Wingham on Wednes- day night last, and confirmed sixteen persons, all adults. He expressed him- self as much pleased with the condition of things in St. Paul's parish, He left on Thursday for Gerrie and Brussels. In view of the coming Methodist General Conference the following stat- istics are of interest: There are, in the Methodist connection in Canada 13 an- nual conferences and 124 districts. Of the 1,802 ordained ministers, 1,360 are employed in circuit and mission work, 54 are engaged in educational and other connexional work, 5 are in special evau- gelistic work, and 36 are left without a station, and 347 are on the superannua- tion and supernumerary lists. Of the 320 probationers, 147 are employed in circuit and mission work, 103 are at college, and 8 are Ieft without a station. Anniversary Sermon. Rev. T, W. Cosens preached the anni- versary sermon to the members of West. ern Star Lodge, I 0 0.1e, at Brussels on Sunday, May 13th, andthe report below, taken from the Brnesels,Post will be of interest to members of the Order in this section: -Text chosen was a most ap- propriate oue, viz, Prov, 19 and 24. "A man that has friends must show himself friendly, etc." This was the 87th anni- versary and the speaker called up a number of very appropriate illustrations of the growth and development of the Order in the passing years. In Ontario there are 307 lodges, an increase of 9 over the former year, with a total membership of 32,272, an increase of 1,779 for the year, World's membership aggregates 1,622,520 and the Order is increasing ou an average of 300 per day. The five- fold obligation entered into by every OddfelIow was pointed out viz: -(1) To visit the sick; (2) relieve distress; (3) bury the dead ; (4) educate the orphan; (5) aid the widow, and the laudable character of the same commented upon. Distributed for relief in Ontario, SI 06,- 718, an average of $292 per day and for the world $4,750,125. From 1830 to 1906 the enormous sum of $110,175,903 has been paid out. Invested funds in Ontario total $1,307,940 or an average of over 24 per member and in the world $39,245,071. Affinity of blood, thoughts and sympathy were easily and hblpfully defined within the fraternity of Oddfel- lowship. The speaker suggested some of the characteristics of the Great Friend spoken of in the text. He was an old and abiding friend; He tells us about our failures and mistakes; He reveals to no His secrets; has perfect fellowship with us in our joys and misfortunes; He is a Royal, Almighty and Loving Friend, Jesus Christ offers a perpetual sacrifice - not for the 33 years of his humanity -- but for ever. He is wearing glorified humanity. On the reverse side there is our intercourse with Him, We will try to please Him and be careful not to cause Him pain. We should remember Christ and obey Him, The sermon was most befittingto the occasion and worthy of the close attention it received. West Huron Women's Institute. Thursday last, the occasion of the an- nual meeting of the West Hurom Wo- men's Institute, was a beautifully fine day and the attendance was large, the delegation from Goderioh consisting of two loads. The meeting was held on Thursday, May 17th, at the home of Mrs. Watts, Clinton. Shortly after 3 o'olock, Mien French, president of the Institute, called the meeting to order and extended a hearty welcome on be• half of the Clinton branch to the Insti- tate members, and said she hoped that many more anneal meetings of the So- Ciety would be held at Clinton. The president reviewed briefly the work done throughout the district and then called upon the secretary -treasurer, Mrs. Colin Campbell, of Goderioh, to give her report, which showed that the meetings held during the past year had been more largely attended than those of previous years. no interest in the work of the Institute, she said, was growing. The 'number of meetings held in Went Huron the past year was 52; total .at• Goadwheat is only 1LtLF the battle ; the OTHER half is skilful milling. Jewel Fiour has the two halves.

Votes of thanks were tendered the auditors, Messrs. R. M. Young and Wm. Bailie, and to Mrs. Watts for the use of her home for the anneal meeting. Mrs. French, expressing her wish to retire from the presidency, Mrs. Wm. Jenkins, Holmesville, was elected president and the other officers were elected as follows: -Mrs. S.

Compulsory voting would tend to eliminate one great cause of corruption in elections, namely, the practice of purchasable voters hanging around the polls and declaring that they will not vote unless paid. Going to the polling place, instead of being a favor on the part of the voter, would be made a duty, and failure to perform that duty would mean the fixing of a stigma upon the defaulter. Parliament migut do worse than make a trial of the proposed inno- vation, but it would be essential that the system should be rigidly enforced. - Winnipeg Free Press. The question of Senate reform has been periodically discussed both an the floor of Parliament and elsewhere, but it has remained for Sir Richard to pro- pose a plan upon which this reform can be carried out. After forty-three years iii public life, during which he has had abundant opportunities of observing wherein reform was needed, no one than Sir Richard is better qualified topoint out the defects of the present system of choosing members to the Senate and to recommend a change which will give proportionate representationand remove the temptation to gerrymander the upper House with every change in Govern- ment --Ottawa Free Press. Aug possibility of the annexation of any portion of our country to the Unit. ed States is flouted in western Canada as it is in eastern Canada, and we do not believe that the day will come when any considerable portion of our people will seriously consider the advantages of such a change; but that the relation- ships between the various parts of the continent are rapidly altering is some- thing that most be recognized by Cana- dian Governments. It is something that must bring a material modification of the present political supremacy of the eastern Provinces, and it is a matter that is of more vital interest to the busi- ness prosperity of the east than to that of the west. -Vancouver Province.
